An electric device delivers a current of [tex]$15.0 A$[/tex] for 30 seconds. How many electrons flow through it?

Asked by bless95

Answer (2)

In 30 seconds, an electric device delivering a current of 15.0 A allows approximately 2.81 x 10^21 electrons to flow through it. This is calculated by finding the total charge in coulombs and then converting that charge to the number of electrons using the charge of a single electron. The total charge is found using the formula Q = I * t, where Q is charge, I is current, and t is time.

One Coulomb of electrons per second is One Ampere.
One Coulomb = 6.241 x 10^18 electrons
SO:
6.241 x 10^18 * 15 * 30 = 2.81 x 10 ^21 electrons ;
